The sun is shining and the Son is blessing us. What more could we ask for? :)
We met with our adoption attorney, Joy, on Tuesday and she is wonderful! Joy verbally drew out a map of events for us from now until the day Mike & I become Lucas' legal adoptive parents. The journey is crystal clear. I won't bore you with all the details, but if you're curious just ask me...I don't mind sharing. Charmaine met with her adoption services provider, Loren, to be explained her rights as the birthmom and what she should be expecting throughout the next month. We also met Loren and she seems very helpful and knowledgeable. Our last meeting on Tuesday was with Charmaine and Sarah to discuss the hospital stay and the communication we'd like after we bring Lucas home. Charmaine said that she wants Lucas to be handed to me as soon as he's born, Mike & I will be doing all the feedings and diaper changes in the hospital and Lucas will be staying in our room. She would like a little alone time with Lucas, which we understand and respect. But a lot of our time will be together during the hospital stay. We expect to be there anywhere from 2-4 days.
Someone asked me if it was appropriate to send Charmaine flowers to the hospital and my answer was YES! If anyone is interested in sending flowers or a card to Charmaine, we will be at Palomar Hospital in Escondido and her last name is Garibay. I won't know a room number until we get there on Tuesday, so you can always call the hospital at 760-739-3000 or me at 858-342-6943.
Charmaine and I will be having lunch and going to a movie this afternoon. I really enjoy spending time with her and getting to know her.
Have a wonderful day!
Much love,
Brenda
